Sunday Sample Spotlight: "Elaborate Lives"

This classic white and navy blue invitation set features one of my "fancy" patterns. Paired with an elegant cursive font, "Elaborate Lives" is the epitome of formal - and the perfect design for a traditional wedding.

"Elaborate Lives" Invitation Duo (invite & reply card) with matching Save-the-Date

Each stationery item is printed on white cardstock and mounted on metallic dark blue cardstock. For the envelopes, I used a metallic pearl white "Himalaya" pocketfold envelope, with matching reply card and #10 size policy envelope for a uniquely-shaped save-the-date.





I used the elegant, loopy pattern in a big, bold way - the scale of the pattern is large, giving each stationery item an over-the-top splash of pattern along its borders. From a distance, the dark blue "zig-zag" down the middle of the pattern adds another hint of modern design to an otherwise traditional, formal invitation.




Metallic envelopes are a great way to add sparkle to elegant stationery! Here, both the white envelopes and blue cardstock have a metallic shimmer. The shine is subtle enough to be classy while sparkly enough in the light to be noticeable and appreciated - the perfect combination. :)
